MUSIC
AND MOVEMENT
|
 Our
sessions are lots of fun -- not only for the children,
but for their parents and caregivers too!
We place an emphasis on songs and activities, which promote
language development and motor skills, while learning
about and appreciating music.
During the class we
use a wide range of instruments such as rhythm pals, maracas,
bells, drums, tambourines and many more.
We also use CD's, guitar, and accompanied voices.

Our
Program
|
Bouncing Babes
This is a class for non-mobile babies from
3 months
- 1
year. An emphasis is placed on exposing the children
to a range of different musical styles, providing the
parents with simple tunes to use in everyday activities
at home, giving an opportunity to get your child moving
through dance, and exposure to a range of activities/exercises
which stimulate muscle development and fine and gross
motor coordination. The babies are continually stimulated
with sounds, sights, and movement.
Creepy Crawlers
This class is for crawling babies and early walkers. This
class is similar to the Bouncing Babes class, but with
more movement for the children - and less carrying for
the adults! We introduce a wider range of instruments,
and encourage children to participate more through action
songs.
Dancing Dots
This class is for confident walkers from
1 - 2.5 years. In this class we really require the children
to take an active involvement. The sessions flow fast
and are kept varied to hold very active little people's
attention! We provide more of an educationally challenging
environment, with songs that require the children to respond
more eg. finding parts of the body, taking turns, moving
and dancing independently in different ways, and using
the instruments in varied ways.
Mini Maestros
This class is for 2.5 - 5 year olds. While providing the
fun and stimulating environment of the Dancing Dots session,
here we really begin to introduce some of the more subtle
concepts of music. The children can participate in challenging
activities such as folk dance, creating music to go with
certain stories, learning the words, and filling the gaps
in certain songs etc. |
